"The Republic of the Union of Myanmar National Unity Government Ministry of Foreign Affairs Announcement (3/2021) May 15, 2021 “Calling Immediate Attention on Mindat” 1. After the Myanmar military (Tatmadaw) staged the coup d’etat, it killed over 800 people and arrested over four thousand people. Due to the acts of terror committed by the Myanmar military, it was declared as the terrorist organization by the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH). 2. The Myanmar military failed to end all forms of violence against the innocent people. It instead accelerated acts of terrorism in many places across Myanmar. 3. Due to the Tatmadaw’s terrorist actions against the innocent people of Mindat, Chin State, the Chinland Defense Force (CDF), by exercising the right to self-defense, has been defending the defenseless people of Mindat, Chin State. 4. Since yesterday, the Tatmadaw has been sending more forces to the areas near Mindat while the attack helicopters are hovering above the houses of the people in Mindat. The military is shooting inside the town with heavy artilleries. 5. There have been 5 innocent people who were killed by the military actions against the civilian population and 10 people were injured. Many more are potentially under the threat of fatalities and serious injuries. The military arrested the health workers who are volunteering to provide healthcare assistance to the injured people. 6. Within the next 48 hours, Mindat can potentially become a battleground and thousands of people are facing the danger of being displaced. 7. Therefore, we would like to urge the international community to take immediate actions to end all violence of the Tatmadaw and protect the defenseless people of Mindat, Chin State..."
